The space disaster

2017
In graphic novel format Dr. Cosmic's class of monsters looks at gravity, comets, and the Solar system.

Gravity

Gravity addresses the natural phenomenon that both philosophers and mathematicians have been curious about for centuries and the science that makes it all possible. It begins in the time of Aristotle, where the book explains why and how the evolution of thought contributed to the understanding of force, acceleration, and resistance, the early pieces to the puzzle of gravity. Once the basics have been established, the text dives headfirst into Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity and Sir Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation in order to explain one of the universe's greatest mysteries and the effects these discoveries have had on the world.

Wormholes

Discusses the possibilities of wormholes and how they are made.

Whoosh!

Wile E. Coyote experiments with flight and gravity
2017
Uses popular cartoon character Wile E. Coyote to demonstrate science concepts involved with flight and gravity.

Gravity, orbiting objects, and planetary motion

2017
"Our modern understanding of the heliocentric universe developed five hundred years ago. Since the time of Copernicus and Galileo, scientists have made major strides in understanding how gravity, stars, and planets interact. 'Gravity, Orbiting Objects, and Planetary Motion' explains how early ideas have given way to sophisticated, proven theories about the universe. The book aligns with Next Generation Science Standards and also presents a look at what is next in the cutting-edge field of astronomy"--Amazon.com.

The science of forces

2016
Forces move everything around us. That may sound scary and complicated, but this book shows readers that forces like friction and other laws of motion can be fascinating and fun! Innovative flowcharts bring these abstract concepts to life via brilliant photographs matched with fact boxes showing readers how the moon impacts tides on Earth, and how magnetic forces act on matter throughout the universe. From the tectonic plates that move Earth’s crust to the forces rockets must overcome to leave Earth’s atmosphere and reach outer space, there are plenty of fantastic forces to explore in this informative book.
